About meWm. Hovey Smith is a prize-winning author whose previous books have explored infrequently written about topics such as bowfishing and crossbow hunting. Always interested in the unusual aspects of outdoor life, he has been an avid user of muzzleloading guns which has included hunts in 30 U.S. states, Europe and Africa. These activities resulted in his being appointed a contributing editor for Gun Digest where he covers black-powder guns and hunting. He also commonly writes about knives in Knife World and the Krause knife annuals. He is also the author of 13 books and thousands of newspaper, magazine and on-line articles published since the 1970s.

Diversified in his interests and activities, the author is a Professional Registered Geologist whose work took him throughout North America. This work enabled him to hunt in numerous locations and observe how others, quite different from himself, responded to hunting and the outdoors. These experiences and observations have been seamlessly incorporated into his works as he explores hunting with humor and an appreciation for life's unexpected events.

The unusual and the almost unbelievable have always categorized the author's works. They have a fresh approach to their subjects as related to his experiences, rather than being rehashes of commonly repeated information.
